Overview
- Apple is accepting applications from host apps on iOS or iPadOS, with eligibility tied to supporting the Advanced Commerce API and the Declared Age Range API.
- Participants must process qualifying mini app transactions through App Store In‑App Purchase and transmit consumption and refund data via Apple’s server APIs.
- Qualifying purchases include digital goods used within a single mini app as well as auto‑renewing subscriptions accessed inside that same mini app.
- Apple defines mini apps as self‑contained HTML5 or JavaScript experiences inside a native host app that are not controlled by the host developer.
- Bloomberg reports Tencent’s WeChat intends to participate under the 15% terms, though it must apply and comply like others, as Apple faces antitrust scrutiny over super apps.
